Bayonne man charged with DWI, drug charges in afternoon crash: police

A Bayonne man was arrested and charged with driving while intoxicated and other drug charges Tuesday after police found him passed out in a car that was nearly flipped over.

Police found Christopher Woolley, 27, in a "lifeless condition" Tuesday night inside his car that was resting with its driver-side tires atop the windshield of a car parked on East 26th Street, police said.

Woolley was reportedly seen by an eyewitness before the crash with his body slumped over inside the car as he was driving along East 26th Street, according to police.

Before Woolley's car came to rest atop another vehicle parked on the street, he crashed into three other parked cars, according to police.

Police first smashed the front passenger-side window in an effort to remove Woolley from the car, according to police.

When that failed, police climbed on top of the parked car which Woolley's car was resting on and broke through the front driver-side window that was pointed up toward the sky, according to police.

Officers were able to remove Woolley from the car through the front driver-side window and immediately began conducting CPR on him in the street because he was still unresponsive, according to police.

An ambulance soon arrived and transported him to Jersey City Medical Center, according to police. While en route to the hospital, Woolley became conscious and reportedly told paramedics that the last thing he recalled was injecting heroin, according to police.

While searching Woolley's car, police found a hypodermic needle and five empty glassine bags, which are commonly used to package drugs, according to police.

Woolley, who lives on East 27th Street, was treated for his injuries at the hospital, and police also collected blood samples, according to police.

Police arrested Woolley and charged him with DWI and two drug charges, according to police. He was later released on a summons, according to police.
